Group Psychotherapy<br />
Students review theories, research, and interventions of group<br />
psychotherapy across diverse populations. This course includes<br />
social psychological theories and research applied to group<br />
processes, and includes a developmental perspective for dyadic as<br />
well as small group relationships and observational tools. Ethical<br />
and diversity issues will also be addressed. Students then apply<br />
theories, research, and observational tools to group processes.<br />
They interact in growth groups and identify the processes that<br />
evolve, as well as markers of their own personal growth. The<br />
developmental stages and issues for groups and, in particular, the<br />
growth group the students are involved in, are compared to the<br />
developmental stages and issues of individuals. 2.0 credits<br />
Biological Bases of Behavior<br />
In this course students acquire a basic understanding of the structure<br />
and function of neurophysiology, and how electrical, hormonal,<br />
and neurochemical processes contribute to the regulation<br />
of emotion, cognition, and behavior. How endocrine, immune,<br />
and nervous systems contribute to homeostasis, health and disease<br />
will be addressed. The role of stress in health and disease,<br />
and of mind-body therapies to reverse these effects are also<br />
examined. Through this course students will become conversant<br />
with and understand the investigative procedures used in current<br />
neuroscience research, understand themselves and others from a<br />
psychophysiological perspective, and understand the biological<br />
and psychological contributions to disorders encountered in the<br />
clinical setting. 3.0 credits.<br />
